Tip 1
Rogers registered his 24th goal contribution of the season on Saturday by opening the scoring against Forest in a 2-1 win for his side.
The fulfilled potential of Villa’s creative asset has been a large part of their success so far this term, with the 22 year old Halesowen-born midfielder producing a goal or assist in five of his last six appearances.
As well as this, he’s delivered the goods in his last three UCL outings and has become a reliable figure when facing high-level opposition.

Tip 2
Dembele has scored seven goals in his last six UCL games, putting him on 32 in 40 appearances for the season across all competitions and making it incredibly likely that he will beat Emi Martinez at least once on Wednesday.
Kamara knows PSG well having come through the Marseille academy and plying his trade for them in his native France before completing a free transfer to Steven Gerrard’s Villa in summer 2022.
His tally of four yellows isn’t indicative of how susceptible he is to receiving a card, although all four of these coming in big away games – two in the PL against Liverpool and Arsenal and two in the UCL versus Monaco and Club Brugge – suggests odds of 3/1 are worth taking for him to be dealt a fifth.
PSG are fluid in attack and any overturned opportunities for Villa will require Kamara’s intervention at the base of the away side’s midfield.
Both clubs are adept at finding the net, with each of Villa’s last four seeing over 2.5 goals, as well as 3/4 for PSG, and this should make for an abundance of chances at Parc des Princes this week.

The Parisiens were crowned Ligue 1 champions once again last weekend after beating Angers 1-0 at Parc des Princes, meaning the French side have so far gone 28 games unbeaten in domestic league duties this season.
Luis Enrique’s side have two absentees for this quarter-final first leg in Lee Kang-in and Marquinhos – the former being sidelined with an injury, while PSG’s captain is serving a suspension.
PSG Predicted XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Beraldo, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola.
Unai Emery’s men stretched their winning streak to seven with victory over European chasing Nottingham Forest at Villa Park in the Premier League on Saturday evening, propelling the Midlanders firmly into the race to retain their place in the premier competition for next season.
Villa are without three for the trip to France, as this game comes too soon for Leon Bailey, who has returned to full training but is unlikely to be risked, unregistered January signing Donyell Malen, and the injured Ross Barkley.
Aston Villa Predicted XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Kamara, Tielemans; Asensio, Rogers, Ramsey; Rashford.
This will be the first meeting between these two teams.
